In The Ring With Media
_
by Craig Doyle | Alex Dutton
One of a parents' worst fears is bullying.
It occurs in schools, on playground, in the home and, more recently, online.
With the development of violent video games greatly influencing the minds of our
youth and the overwhelming use of violence involved in TV shows and movies,
the blame is becoming more evident - American media has gone too far.
Even the president of CBS, Les Moonves, agrees, "you would have to be an
idiot to deny that the media had something to do with the Columbine shooting."
If this clip doesn't explain the point that media directly contribute to bullying, than
we don't know what else would. This is a real trailer for a real video game entitled "BULLY".
Has the media gone too far? We'll let you decide.
